The Wolves of Steel - UHD/1440p resolution problem

[bersercore]

Hey Folks,
I enjoy the Wolves of Steel Mod Version 1.03 with Patch5 Hotfix 4 a long time without any problems so far. Few days ago I upgraded to a 1440p Screen (2560x1440px). I noticed that the minimap (when Wolves of Steel activated) is located on the top left of the screen *see pic below*. Everything else runs great as before.

I couldnt find a person with the same problem so far. The GUI is correct without mods - even with 1440p resolution.

Do you have any idea? Is there a config to change to fix the minimaps position? Iam thankful for any advice.



Picture of my problem.

edit:

active mods:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]

The Wolves of Steel 1.03
The Wolves of Steel 1.03 - Patch 5
The Wolves of Steel 1.03 - Patch 5_HotFix 4

// No change with the 16x9 resolution fix or TDW Real Navigation.

Edit: problem solved:

"On the left is a button "Toggle TAI visibility" - check that
and the map will "jump" to the position down/left."

Thanks to Floyd

I cannot really help you with this technical problem.
I would look at the gpu settings.
It could be a corrupted installation of the game or the mod.
You are running an old version of TWOS so you are missing out on what v1.05 offers.
This also might be of interest.

What we see is the position of the deacticvated map .
On the left is a button "Toggle TAI visibility" - check that
and the map will "jump" to the position down/left.

Question remains where to set the position for the
deactivated map.

Solved!

Thank you so much.

In 2020 I'm still looking for an answer to the original question. Does anyone know where to change the mini-map's position?

When using the left panel's 'auto-hide' option on 1440p, the mini-map icon goes up screen, to the position mentioned above. I'd like to declutter my screen and this stands in the way Ideally, I would just want to move it higher, beyond 1440 pixels.

The solution to the original post is in the post immediately above yours.

I know it's been years, and you probably aren't interested anymore, but, in case anyone else is wondering, I found how to hide the minimap icon when it's supposed to be hidden on a 1440p screen.


You need to modify Silent Hunter 5\data\Scripts\Menu\Page Default Hud.py


You modify this:

# Modified by TheDarkWraith
def CheckTAILocation( show ):
    PageDefaultHud_MapGroup.SnapFromAnchor.RestoreValues()
    if GetTAIEnabledInGame() and show:
        if GetEssentialControlsScroll() and FeedBackMode == FeedBackModes.Minimized:
            if PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar.Visible:
                PageDefaultHud_MapGroup.SnapFromAnchor.AnchorRelativeY = -1
            else:
                PageDefaultHud_MapGroup.SnapFromAnchor.AnchorRelativeY = 25#-200
        else:
            PageDefaultHud_MapGroup.SnapFromAnchor.AnchorRelativeY = -1
    else:
        PageDefaultHud_MapGroup.SnapFromAnchor.AnchorRelativeY = 25#-200
    PageDefaultHud_MapGroup.SnapFromAnchor.SetDependentPosition()
    PageDefaultHud_MapGroup.SnapChildZones()

Change the 25 to something higher. I changed mine to 50, and when you hide the TAI icon, it's no longer visible.


Hope this helps you or anyone else!
